The president of Russia Vladimir V. Putin and United States president Joe Biden held a secured 2-hours long online video meeting with issues bordering on the Russian intrusion in Ukraine.
It was gathered that the US President warned Russia that an invasion into Ukraine will be met with heavy economic consequences.
The US also warned Russia that the consequences which they will receive are far worse than was dealt out when they annexed Crimea about seven years ago.
Russian troops have been gathered around Ukraine – about 70,000 in number, leaving the world guessing what might be up their sleeves.
It was gathered that the United States, together with some European allies have compiled a list of very hard sanctions which will be met-ed out on Russia which includes blocking Russian companies and Elites out of Global Capital Markets and an extreme being taking Russia off SWIFT; the global financial settlement system.
However, Putin says Russia is been threatened by the increasing presence of US and Western military around its borders. Meanwhile, the United States says the military presence is a defense mechanism in protecting Ukraine, whose part of its territory was already annexed by Russia.
